Ricketts Comments on the Passing of John Gottschalk

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) issued the following statement commenting on the passing of Nebraska community leader John Gottschalk:

“John guided Nebraska’s largest newspaper into the digital age and fought to preserve downtown Omaha. At the USO, he supported our nation’s military families. As an avid outdoorsman, he fought to conserve Nebraska’s wildlife for future generations. Together with his wife, they fostered over 100 infants awaiting adoption. He did so much for the community and lived a life of good works and service to the state he loved. I will miss him.”
